Overview
The ophthalmic artery is the first intracranial branch of the internal carotid artery and provides blood supply to the eye, the extraocular muscles, and to various other intra- and extra-orbital structures like the lacrimal gland. Its various branches reach as far as the forehead, the nose, and the upper midface. Learn and see in this extended anatomic review video about the ophthalmic artery and everything an injector needs and should know when performing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures to avoid serious adverse events.
